Excerpt:

Sen. Bernie Sanders plans to host rallies this weekend in two red states, Kentucky and West Virginia, where he will speak out against Senate Republicans' efforts to partially repeal and replace Obamacare.

Sanders, I-Vt., announced in a press release Wednesday that the rallies, dubbed "Care Not Cuts," will both occur on Sunday, first in West Virginia and then Kentucky.

Sanders said the Senate GOP plan would particularly hurt Kentucky, the state represented by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, a Republican.

"McConnell's legislation, which would throw 22 million Americans off of health insurance, would be a disaster for the country and an even worse disaster for the people of Kentucky," Sanders said. "Under the Affordable Care Act, Kentucky has made significant progress in lowering the number of its uninsured people. Further, the expansion of Medicaid there has been of significant help in the fight against the opioid epidemic which has ravaged Kentucky."
